Topic: Bannion/ Ben Wade (Read 1703 times)

It is with great sadness that I have to report that my grandfather (Bannion/Ben Wade) passed away peacefully surrounded by family on 21 June after a short battle with liver cancer.

On behalf of his wife, daughters and myself I wish to thank you all as my grandfather found great pleasure in posting in this forum and was a source of escapism for him during the trying time while he was poorly.

I am sorry that there is no other way for me to communicate this sad news to you all.

I idolized my grandfather and grew up listening to the stories he would tell me about his time in Birmingham and then moving down South. He was a fighter and a rock to me my whole life. He will be greatly missed by all.

Can I just say that your grandfather was a valued member of this forum and will be deeply missed by all. Please accept our condolences and our deepest sympathy goes out to you and the rest of your family. We have missed your grandfather and were beginning to wonder what had happened so please accept the forums thanks for taking time to inform us of this sad loss at a time of great sorrow for you and your family.

RIP Ben, it was a great pleasure to have known you albeit by posts ,we will miss you immensley.Thank you Jade for having the courage to inform us of your (and our) very sad loss.Peace be with Bens family,
